Changing rainfall patterns in <strong>Africa</strong> are predicted to have a negative impact on agriculture<br />
<strong>and</strong> food <strong>and</strong> water security. Extreme weather events, such as severe storms, droughts <strong>and</strong><br />
floods, are expected to increase in frequency <strong>and</strong> intensity. Rising sea levels, combined<br />
with storm surges <strong>and</strong> breaking waves, are predicted to threaten coastal areas, potentially<br />
causing major population shifts. Accurate weather forecasts <strong>and</strong> warnings of severe<br />
weather are essential to enable <strong>Africa</strong>n countries to deal with the impacts of the changing<br />
climate. Meteorological satellites have a key role to play.<br />
